The surgical management of large, nonpulmonary arterial disease of Behçet disease is currently quite satisfactory. When the false aneurysm is in the infrarenal aorta, aorto-bi-iliac bypass is the preferred surgical intervention. Extremity aneurysms can be treated with synthetic graft insertion. In selected cases, ligation can give satisfactory results; however, postoperative claudication is common. In some patients with small intact saccular aneurysms, surgery may not be necessary. Patients must be prescribed immunosuppressive therapy with cyclophosphamide and corticosteroids before and after the surgical intervention in order to avoid Behçet disease activation.
